You say that you can and then you run to get your mummyAnd you're almost beaten to the punchLooking for the man who sold you the dummyAnd you're almost beaten to the punchLaughing at the older guys who say it's just as wellSaved by the wedding bellAlmost beaten to the punchYou're looking for somebody new that you can knock aroundYou are almost beaten to the punchIf you've got a head for figures then you'd better count me outYou were almost beaten to the punchYou pulled the piece but you soon called it loveYou go hand in gloveAlmost beaten to the punch

Your body speaks much louder than your voiceYou let it do the talking so I don't have any choice

Now you find the younger guys are putting up resistanceAnd you're almost beaten to the punchYou better get out now because you'll never go the distanceAnd you're almost beaten to the punchYou'll find a girl and you'll promise her anythingEven a wedding ringAlmost beaten to the punch
